Apprentice's Log - Episode II: Training our Red-tailed Hawk
This video is part of a falconry series from an apprentice falconer. In this episode, we show what the process of training (manning) our first red-tailed hawk looked like. The first step, getting the hawk to take food from the glove, can take an average of 24-48 hours. Next, getting the hawk to jump to the glove, took us over a week -- this depends on the bird and the experience level of the falconer. After he started jumping to the glove consistently, we started moving farther and farther away from the perch. Using a creance (leash), we continued the training process outdoors. Finally, we did the first free flight session after four weeks with Fievel.

Apprentice's Log - Episode I: Trapping our First Red-tailed Hawk
Просмотров 8 тыс.4 года назад
This video is part of a falconry series from an apprentice falconer. In this episode, we show what the process of trapping our first red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis) looked like. This is only a glimpse into the hours of tracking and failed attempts. Juvenile red-tailed hawks have an upwards of 80% mortality rate in their first year. Each hawk a falconer traps in the wild helps ensure one mor...
I think that I was more stressed than you. Stunning bird
Dude, you seem like awesome people. Please reproduce and create more awesome people. There aren't enough of us.
Hi Christina & Josh. I don't see any more video's from you? Did Feivel fly away? Would love an update.
When he was on the ground, he was watching you like a hawk. lol
I drop my trap and if its a young one they are usually on it before I turn around. Had one last week but my nooses failed...waited a month to find him too. Maybe tomorrow!
Grand island NY, not far from me at all. Lewiston. Who was your sponsor if you dont mind.. initials are fine, the list isn't to long.
Hi Josh. Can I call you . Because I want ask you something about the Hawks. Can you give me your phone number please
Finally got em!
Nice vid.
TERIBLE

I hope you got a smaller hood!

He wasn’t born a Oldman.
That is still really beautiful after watching it again.
Any update?? Do you still have him?
Sorry for the super late response! We actually ended up releasing him back in April 2020. We do still see him around the area, though! We plan on starting up again this September!
I want to become a falconer, but it is alot of responsibility and i want to be sure that i am ready to take it on. The bird deserves the best.
Never reward the bird on the ground ,bird should be following on in the last ten trees you past , ive using the lure dont walk towards the bird let it come to you and a bigger bit of food on the lure ,as it will come to you if your a mile away but won't come to the glove a mile away for a leg you can reduse the food on the lure gradually
Trying to trap my bird RIGHT now
How did it go?!
Very nice!! Hoping to take my falconry test in Ohio this summer before the Aug 15th trapping season starts. Starting a little old at 46 years, but it’s been my dream forever. Finally out of the Army and have my own home. Love your bird and especially love the Red Tailed Hawk. I did volunteer at a Raptor Rehab Center for 5 years which really helped me learn the different raptor species behaviors. We had from a Kestrel to a Bald Eagle as program birds. And the usual Red Tailed, Great Horned, Screech and other Ohio native raptors. No Peregrine though. Great work on the training and great video work also. Kept the bird in frame really well.
That is amazing! It is never too late to get into something you are excited about. Good luck with your falconry test if you haven't already taken it!
Why are you casting him and calling him back for a tidbit so many times. You already did this during creance training. This is his first free flight. I understand casting him a couple times to see if he comes back but after that let him start hunting,beat the brush,flush him up a meal,then if he does not catch anything call him back for a tidbit then start again tomorrow. Also keep him from going to the ground so often, hold his Jesse's and then cast him in a tree instead when you are ready.if you let him off the fist whenever he wants to then he is now training you instead of you training him.
We will definitely take a different approach when we start up again in the fall. Thank you for your suggestions.
Such a beautiful bird
"I hope that picture was worth it."
😂
Where is the rest ? How is he doing?
Sorry for the super late response! A lot has happened since we posted these videos. We actually ended up releasing him back in April 2020. We do still see him around the area! We plan on starting again this September! I also hope to start sharing regular updates soon.
Great job
I'm interested in falconry. Any tips you would like to give? Thanks in Advance!!
I’m a new apprentice, it’s definitely a labor of love that requires 7 days a week, 365 days a year commitment. It’s not a hobby or a fad, they’re not and should NEVER be looked at as pets. If your not going to hunt your bird, you shouldn’t become a falconer.
@@barrystephens900 thank you friend
Sorry for the late reply. I completely agree with Barry, though. These birds are definitely not pets. As far as tips for getting started, I would suggest making sure you have good communication with your mentor. If you haven't found one in your area yet or if you have not taken your exam, it might be worth looking for a local falconry group (check Facebook) to get started. In New York, the exam is not super easy, so making sure you put in enough time studying will be important. We had a very eager friend fail the exam, unfortunately.
I've been flying a Redtailed Hawk here in Scotland for 14 years now and still get nervous with the 1st free flight of the season. I hope you are still enjoying Falconry. It's such a rewarding experience.
That is really beautiful.
If you ever trap again, try finding some dirt roads and (gently) throwing the trap out the window. Then, keep driving a ways until you can turn around and pull off a distance away. This makes the birds less suspicious, and more likely to go for the trap. Using binoculars, you can be more sure when a hawk is trapped. Then just drive up and do your thing. Also, I don't know when you trapped your hawk, but if it was close to when you posted this video, try trapping a little earlier if you can. This means there will be more birds to trap, and they will still be adjusting to life without their parents. This means that they will be hungrier, and more likely to go after the trap. Just don't go trapping too early, or you'll get a bird without a lot of hunting experience.
Thank you! We will definitely avoid the busier roads next time. We ended up catching Fievel in an area that was quiet in terms of traffic. It was definitely late in the season when we caught him. We are aiming to go out as soon as the season starts in NY this time. We appreciate all of these suggestions, especially about driving away to avoid suspicion! :-)
@@pleaseforgetmenot will you keep uploading the videos are very good
Wow you guys are very close to me, this is only a few minutes away! I'll be taking my test hopefully in Aug and am very excited since I've been waiting a few years. Any tips on finding a sponsor?
Did you end up taking your test? After you pass your exam in NY they give you a list of mentors in the state. Josh just reached out to all of the people within an hour's drive. Please let me know if you have any other questions! Sorry for the super late response, a lot happened since we posted these videos. We hope to get back into making videos again soon.
Good job. To discourage him going to ground I wouldn't feed him for coming to you from the ground, only feed when he returns from a tree. He will learn quickly. Congratulations on doing so well on his first free flight. He was following on well and responded well to calls for him to return. When using the dummy bunny lure start him off from a metre or so and once he realises there is food extend the distance as you did on the creance. Hope you don't mind the advice :-)
😄Good hawk👍💮
I am an apprentice falconer also. I really enjoy your videos I hope you are planning to make more.
Thank you so much! We're so glad you enjoyed the videos. We'll definitely be putting together more in the future.
Awesome video! Can't wait for more! I'm starting my journey into falconry this year also.
Thank you! We're glad you enjoyed the video. Good luck with your falconry journey, it can be tough to get going but don't give up! 🦅
My name is Anthony. If you want some advice email me. I have some pointers for you if you are interested. Anthonypointes01@gmail.com.
Really good footage. I'm impressed. I was biting my nails during the entire free fly.
